I live 30 miles south of the ambassador bridge. I'm not going to give rides lol. Not because I'm stingy. Because I'm scared of the car. In a good way. A healthy "i value my life", learn how to drive way.

My 20B at 16psi is too scary for me an old retired non-racer. I immediately put Racelogic Traction Control on it. This will save tires, improve performance and maybe save your life.

Hopefully next Spring Kan will come up and tune it to around 1000whp. At that point one of my FDs will be up for sale.

Good luck with your beast.

Ken

Details on this? I thought the Racelogic unit did not work with a 20B?

IRONMDNX installed it. I guess you could PM him. If he was to keep the 20b car that is an option he wanted to put on when he was done. He knew my GREAT experience with TC on my FDs for years.

Thanks David. It's crazy that I went to dgrr back in 2010 and saw both your car and Tommy then. Is so amazing to have the opportunity

It has some electrical consistency issues to work out so the GTR was all loud and proud at first. Once i fired the 20b up, the Nissan had its tail between its legs lol.

if you keep the title, i scrap the engine and put a LT1 in it. No, not sell the 20b, scrap. hahaha. and yes i mean LT1.

I told crystal i felt bad taking your car at least 4 different times on the drive home.

I also hold the record for number of tissues gone through that day, but it wasnt from crying lol

It must be the car's New Jersey accent. Although its in Detroit now, so people are comfortable with gun shots.
